H&Q-48

30. Allah is Al-Lateef The Subtle One

Such is God, your sustainer:
there is no deity save Him, the Creator of everything:
worship, then, Him alone —
for it is He who has everything in His care.
No human vision can encompass Him,
whereas he encompasses all human vision:
for He alone is unfathomable, all-aware.
Al-An’am 6:101-3

4. Why are we so quick to throw our boys to the wolves? When we give them the freedom to come and go as they please, to have friends we don't know, to have their own laptops and iPhones, to spend hours on the Internet, unmonitored, to stay out until late with no questions asked, do we think they have some sort of gender-specific forcefield that will protect them when we fail to? A forcefield that will protect them from others, both online and on the street, and from themselves? This is not how boys become the kind of men the Ummah needs them to be. We have double standards when it comes to the acceptable behaviour of boys and girls, and our boys are suffering from our neglect as a result.

5. Detachment does not even mean that we cannot own things of this life (dunya). In fact many of the greatest companions were wealthy.

As 'Ali (ra) expressed beautifully, “Detachment is not that you should own nothing, but that nothing should own you.

6. We look for heroes in movies and comic books. But the real heroes are often hidden in unspoken places. Sometimes they don't even know who they are. But, if your heart is open, you'll recognize them on your path. I feel honored to have known so many in my life.
